  • 1 cup (130 g) pecans
  • ½ cup (70 g) cashews
  • ½ cup (70 g) pistachios, shelled

Honey Coating

  • ¼ cup (85 g) Bee's Bounty Raw Cold-Filtered Honey
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

Optional Additions

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (for a sweet and spicy version)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper
  • Silicone spatula
  • Cooling rack
  • Airtight glass jar

Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the Oven

Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).

Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2 – Prepare the Honey Glaze

In a mixing bowl, combine:

  • Bee's Bounty Honey
  • Melted butter
  • Vanilla extract
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg
  • Sea salt

Whisk until smooth.

Step 3 – Coat the Nuts

Add the mixed nuts to the honey mixture.

Stir thoroughly until every nut is evenly coated.

If using sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds, fold them in now.

Step 4 – Arrange

Spread the coated nuts in a single even layer on the prepared baking tray.

Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting.

Step 5 – Roast

Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking.

The nuts should become lightly golden and fragrant without burning.

Step 6 – Cool

Remove the tray from the oven.

Allow the nuts to cool completely on the tray.

As they cool, the honey coating will harden, creating a crisp, glossy finish.

Step 7 – Serve

Break apart any clusters if desired.
